According to on-chain data, companies have piled into Bitcoin at a pace that 
now outstrips new supply. Corporate treasuries held by public and private 
firms rose from about 854,000 BTC to roughly 1.11 million BTC over the past 
six months, an increase of around 260,000 BTC — roughly 43,000 BTC per month. 
This adds close to $25 billion in value to corporate balance sheets and points 
to a growing appetite among firms for holding the coin, on-chain analytics 
provider Glassnode disclosed, Tuesday. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bulls Watch 
$0.28 As Breakout Signals Stack Up Corporate Treasuries Swell A single firm 
dominates that pile. Strategy now controls the largest share of corporate 
Bitcoin, holding 687,410 BTC after a fresh buy earlier this month. The company 
disclosed it acquired 13,627 BTC between January 5 and January 11, its biggest 
purchase since last July. Reports have highlighted how this concentration 
means a few big buyers still shape the corporate treasury picture. Over the 
past 6 months, Bitcoin treasuries held by public and private companies have 
grown from ~854K BTC to ~1.11M BTC. That’s an increase of ~260K BTC, or 
roughly ~43K BTC per month, highlighting the steady expansion of corporate 
balance-sheet exposure to Bitcoin.… https://t.co/hHXjcSDDj4 
pic.twitter.com/oluVGO2bGD — glassnode (@glassnode) January 13, 2026 Smaller, 
but still significant corporate holders are visible on the list. MARA 
Holdings, for example, holds about 53,250 BTC. That makes it one of the 
largest corporate holders after Strategy, and shows that miners and mining 
firms are also choosing to keep a chunk of the coin they create. ETF Demand 
Could Tighten Supply Exchange-traded funds are part of the story. Spot Bitcoin 
ETFs in the US pulled in more than $20 billion in flows during 2025, with some 
funds taking the largest share of those inflows. Analysts say ETF buying can 
soak up fresh supply and, if consistent, might remove available coins from the 
market for long periods. That dynamic has been flagged as one reason corporate 
accumulation could matter more now than in past cycles. Miners Are Producing 
Less Than Corporates Are Buying Over the same six months, miners are estimated 
to have created about 82,000 BTC. That means corporate buying has outpaced 
mining issuance by roughly three to one. In plain terms: more Bitcoin is being 
added to company balance sheets than is coming out of the ground, which 
tightens available supply if buyers continue to hold rather than sell. Related

In 2025 Price Action And Macro Watch Bitcoin has been trading in a narrow 
range near $92,000 ahead of key US inflation figures, with the $90,000 level 
seen as a psychological marker for traders. Safe-haven interest has stayed 
firm amid geopolitical noise and questions about central bank policy, leaving 
prices supported but range-bound. Short-term moves will likely reflect both 
ETF flows and whether existing holders keep selling into demand. Featured
